EURO 2012 FULL BETTING ODDS FOR GROUP WINNERS
Now that we've had two solid fixtures all around for every side involved in qualifying for Euro 2012 we've seen a fair amount of movement in some of the betting markets but the odds on outright winners are holding steady as we didn't really see too many massive shocks today, although there certainly were a handful of surprising results.
Germany remain in pole position to win Group A and Betfair has them sitting at a slim 1.22 with rivals Turkey listed as the only other favourite with a 4.1 price tag. Belgium are at 8.0 but this one looks like a more fascinating face-off for runner-up.
Group B has taken a very wild twist with Slovakia now considered slim favourites to win the Group having dismantled Russia in a shock result today. You can back the Slovakians at a 2.1 price while Russia are listed at 2.12. The Republic of Ireland remain in contention at 3.05. This one remains wide open.
Italy are odds-on favourites to tackle Group C and they're carrying a 1.36 price tag. Servia are priced at 2.04 while Slovenia are listed at 5.0. Northern Ireland are trading at 10.0 to win Group C.
Euro 2012's Group D is led by France who are trading at an odds-on price 1.75. Romania and Bosnia are both in contention at 3.05 and 3.1 and this group looks interesting for the runner-up spot.
Group E is all about the Dutch right now and they're trading at 1.23. The Swedes are the only other plausible winners and they're a ways off at 3.05.
Group F looks to be a battle between Greece and Croatia with the Cortians priced at 1.5 and the 2004's winners available at 3.05. Israel can be backed at 5.5 and that's a bit of a longshot.
Group G looks to be locked up for England as they've already had the most difficult test of their qualifying campaign with an away trip to Sweden. England are 1.11 to win Group G while Switzerland are at 6.2. Bulgaria are in the hunt for runner up at 7.4 while Wales are trading at 11.0 to win the Group.
Group H odds are favouring Portugal at 1.65 while Denmark is priced at 2.18 and Norway at 3.05. This one is still wide open and I think a few cheeky bets on Portugal as runner up could pay dividends.
Spain have Group I done and dusted and you can back them at 1.08 while Czech Republic are listed at 4.6. Scotland can be backed at 8.2, but the defending champions should stroll to victory in this group.
